Custom Apparel Bead — Neoprene with Pantone Colour Matching
We supply apparel bead to garment factories and brands, built in Neoprene with pantone colour matching for uniform and corporate programmes. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is colour fastness of dyed beads against perspiration, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment

- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same colour fastness of dyed beads against perspiration.
